The
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is seeking the public’s assistance with
obtaining identifying information regarding an unknown male who may have
critical information pertaining to the identity of a child victim in an ongoing
sexual exploitation investigation.
Photographs and an informational poster depicting the unknown
individual, known only as John Doe 37, are being disseminated to the public and
can be found online at the FBI website at http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/ecap

Initial
videos of the unidentified male, John Doe 37, shown with a child were first
recorded by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in June of
2014. The EXIF data embedded within the
video files also indicated that the files were produced in April of 2012. In
addition, audio from the animated film "The Land Before Time" can be
heard in the background of the videos.

John Doe 37 is described as a
White male with brown hair and wearing dark-framed glasses. Anyone
with information to provide should submit a tip online at https://tips.fbi.gov/, or call the FBI’s
toll-free tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). The
public is reminded no charges have been filed in this case and the pictured
individual is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of
law.

This
individual is being sought as part of the FBI’s Operation Rescue Me and
Endangered Child Alert Program (ECAP) initiatives, both of which represent
strategic partnerships between the FBI and the National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children. Operation Rescue Me
focuses on utilizing clues obtained through in-depth image analysis to identify
the child victims depicted in child exploitation material, while ECAP seeks
national and international media exposure of unknown adults (referred to as
John/Jane Does) who visibly display their faces and/or other distinguishing
characteristics in association with child pornography images.
